If we follow the normal progress, this time node in April has already entered the auto show month, but due to the reasons of epidemic prevention and control, the Beijing Auto Show, which was originally held this month, has now been clearly postponed. For a long time, the auto show is an important stage for car companies to announce products and strategic planning, and when this stage cannot be "built" as scheduled, car companies have also made changes. From the current point of view, more car companies have chosen to release according to the original plan, and recently the Internet has been flooded with a variety of new car information, including the bydir Han family that has just been listed.
Recently, the BYD Han family ushered in the listing, the price of 21.58-32.98 million yuan, if you look at the price alone seems to be a simple modification of the listing, but in fact, in this price range includes Han EV, DM-p and DM-i model versions. In this, there is no doubt that the most anticipated is the Han DM-i equipped with the DM-i super hybrid system, below, let's take a look at the connection and difference between the Han EV, DM-p and DM-i models.
As a redesigned model, the design of the Han family still continues the overall design of the old model, that is, the "Dragon Face" family design language, and only adjusts the details. Specific to the Han EV, DM-p and DM-i models, first of all, Han EV, the current popular closed front face is still seen on the new car, the shape of the air intakes and lower grilles on both sides has been changed, the charging port has been moved to the right rear side, and the tail light has adopted a penetrating Chinese end light design and the shape of the lower bumper has also been optimized.
In addition, the Genesis Edition differs from the Qianshancui Limited Edition, which uses a Qianshancui sports appearance kit including carbon black wheels, smoked black headlights, smoked black taillights, and high-performance stone green four-piston pliers (front). The front face of the Han DM-p and DM-i models has further added a sports car design, with two erect dragon fins, a unique diamond-like dragon scale in the front grille, and a signature large mouth design, which makes the whole vehicle more elegant while improving performance.
In terms of interior, the design changes of Han EV, DM-p and DM-i models tend to be similar, all of which are upgrades in configuration and details. For example, Han EV added wood grain trim in the center console area and adopted a new color scheme, while the Qianshan Cui Limited Edition used one-piece sports seats with high-end suede-like interiors and smart fragrance functions on this basis. In terms of intelligent configuration, DiLink 4.0 (5G) intelligent network connection system, DiPilot intelligent driving assistance system, HiFi-level customized Tanner audio, W-HUD head-up display and other configurations can be seen in the Han family, depending on each version.
In terms of power, the power of the three versions of Han EV, DM-p and DM-i has its own highlights, for example, the han EV genesis version of the two-wheel drive version of the system has a comprehensive maximum power of 180kW, a maximum torque of 350N·m, CLTC cruising range of 715km; four-wheel drive version (Genesis Edition and Qianshancui Limited Edition) the maximum power of 380kW, the maximum torque of 700N·m, CLTC cruising range of 610km.
As for DM-p and DM-i, both are equipped with a plug-in hybrid system composed of a Snap Cloud-Plug Hybrid turbocharged 1.5Ti high-efficiency engine and blade battery, etc. The former focuses on performance, and is equipped with a comprehensive maximum power of 360kW and a maximum torque of 675N·m in addition to the engine, and the pure electric endurance is 202km under NEDC conditions; the latter focuses on energy saving, of which the maximum engine power is 102kW, the maximum torque is 231N·m. Under NEDC conditions, pure electric battery life is 121km and 242km according to the battery capacity (18.3kWh and 37.5kWh).
After the above introduction, it can be seen that the new Han family has been adjusted in terms of design, configuration and power, of which han EV and Han DM-i models are the focus of this redesign. Therefore, because the DM-p model has only launched a version, the pursuit of performance, directly choose it can be, so the question about how to choose Han EV, DM-p and DM-i models is actually how to choose EV models, and one is how to choose Han DM-i models.
First of all, look at the Han EV model, the new car has two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options, the former's endurance is longer than the latter, so if you care about the endurance of the group, the author suggests that you choose the 2022 EV Genesis Edition 715KM front-drive honorable type (hereinafter referred to as the front-drive honorable type), this version compared to the price of 287,500 yuan 2022 EV Genesis Edition 715KM front-drive flagship model is only less such as parallel assistance, fatigue driving reminder, reversing side warning system, automatic parking, atmosphere lights, Leather seats/steering wheels and other configurations, these configurations may take care of everything, but in general, in terms of practical and intelligent configurations, the former is still very rich.
If you pursue a stronger power output, then choose the four-wheel drive version, that is, the 610KM four-wheel drive premium type (priced at 288,600 yuan) and the 610KM four-wheel drive Qianshancui limited edition (priced at 329,800 yuan). As mentioned above, the difference between the Genesis Edition and the Qianshancui Limited Edition is that the latter has a customized sports suite, but there is not much difference in the performance of the two, and in terms of configuration, the Qianshancui Limited Edition is also equipped with sports seats, rear seat heating/ventilation, rear multimedia, atmosphere lights and other configurations, which are more upscale. Therefore, if you only pursue performance, the author recommends purchasing the four-wheel drive premium type.
After talking about han EV models, and then looking at the Han DM-i model, the new car has launched 4 model versions, three of which have a pure electric endurance of 121km, and one of which has a pure electric endurance of 242km. Therefore, if you want to pursue higher pure electric endurance, you can buy the DM-i 242KM flagship model priced at 289,800 yuan. The three DM-i models with a pure electric endurance of 121km, the configuration level of the three is the same, there are differences in seat materials and comfort configurations, but in general, the author recommends the 2022 DM-i 121KM honorable model priced at 225,800 yuan, which has more configurations such as driver's seat memory, Danner audio, co-pilot multi-angle seat adjustment, front seat heating/ventilation and other configurations than the entry-level version.
With the addition of more new technologies, in 10 years, the sales of independent brand models have already broken through the 150,000 price ceiling that was considered by everyone at that time, and the ceiling has been raised to a level close to one million. As a medium-sized and large-scale independent brand car, BYD Han's sales have been very stable, from the listing to the present, the cumulative sales of more than 190,000 Han family has been sitting firmly in the champion position of its own brand medium and large cars.
The reason is that this stems from the clever positioning and pricing of new cars, from the perspective of price and product strength, it is not difficult to find that in the price range of 200,000-300,000, there are indeed very few medium and large cars that can achieve the balance and richness of the Han family. In the many models launched by the new car, it basically meets the needs of different consumers, and the DM-i model with pure electric long endurance and the addition of the Qianshan Cui limited edition have improved the strength of the Han family and become more comprehensive. So can the new car achieve a substantial increase in sales in the next step? We'll see.
